University of South Dakota Deploys Software for Research Oversight

The University of South Dakota (USD) has adopted new research management software to provide administrative oversight for many of its research studies.

According to Peter Autenried, USD director of laboratory animal resources, the university will deploy a-tune software'stick@lab solution to consolidate regulatory compliance management of its Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Institutional Review Board, Institutional Biosafety Committee, and day-to-day vivarium operations.

"The selection of a-tune was made based on the application's ability to leverage the latest technologies. Browser independence along with the ability to access the software using the iPad, tablet, Mac, or PC was a significant factor," Autenried said in a release. "What also impressed me was that their project team consists of professionals that have worked within the laboratory animal science industry and simply put, they know our business."
